CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1202) — Question 143

An international traveler is concerned about others accessing the contents of their smartphone if it is lost or stolen. The traveler has enabled biometrics. Which of the following additional security measures further reduces the risk of unauthorized data access?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Device encryption is the best option as it protects the data on the device, making it unreadable without proper authentication. While a PIN code screen lock provides some security, it can potentially be bypassed. Remote backups and location tracking do not directly prevent unauthorized access to the device's contents.
